Few days in Newton Ferrers.

17 comments

Last week was a mixture of sun and showers at Newton Ferrers,Devon.Would like to show you how charming this little village is nestling beside a creek through which the River Yealm runs.Boating and sailing is very evident here.
Have been visiting a long standing friend for many years now who lives here.

There are some very picturesque cottages which edge the waterside.

Suddenly spied this fabulous Hibiscus which looked magnificent.

Living in one of the cottages was a sculptor called Penny Harding.These two rusty metal works were standing either side of her door……a Mr and Mrs!

Our walk led us past the original Baring (Bank) house…..a fantastic spot to live falling almost into the water.

The following day we drove out of the village to a sweet Nursey/garden centre.The approach was over a bridge,the tarmac section had been renewed a week prior to this.The flooding had lifted the entire area and placed alongside the road.

Coffee and carrot cake was scrumptious after a mooch around.The day finished at Modbury a small town with very steep streets.Visited the Japanese florist who had won an award this year at Chelsea……sadly not able to take photos.

Hope you enjoyed …..a very tranquil area…..a must to visit!
